"This is Zheng Wangjun's smuggling account …"
Ao Zhen used her portable spirit computer to open the small encrypted copper plate, and a large number of account records popped up on the light mirror.
The development of rune technology allowed this thumb-sized copper plate to hold millions of high-definition pictures and thousands of hours of high-definition videos.
The accounts on the copper plate were densely packed. Even with Ao Zhen's powerful Divine Sense, it took her ten minutes to go through it.
The account records were very detailed. It was a list of all kinds of smuggled goods. Including the transaction time and price, they were all clearly marked.
Ao Zhen had been the leader of the Tai Chi Alliance for thousands of years, so she knew about financial accounts. After a brief look at the account, she felt that there was at least no problem with it.
Yan Jun sat upright at the side, his gaze slightly lowered. He had a respectful look on his face. As a young Level Thirteen powerhouse, Ao Zhen admired his attitude.
In front of a stronger person, being humble was not cowardly, but wisdom.
In Ao Zhen's opinion, Yan Jun was a sensible and smart person. She liked to deal with smart people.
With a character like Gao Zhengyang, he would not live long. Therefore, in the ten thousand worlds of the universe, in the entire epoch, there was only one Gao Zhengyang who feared nothing.
"This is a serious matter. Do you have any other evidence?"
Ao Zhen gently placed the copper plate on the desk. Although the account was very detailed, it was all in the past. Moreover, it was easy to falsify such accounts.
It was unreasonable to convict a Level 13 powerhouse based on a single account. Only by obtaining other more conclusive evidence could she officially investigate Zheng Wangjun.
Of course, Ao Zhen could not follow the rules. However, as the rule maker, she had to uphold the rules. She could not break the rules for her own convenience.
If she did not follow the rules, what would the people below her think?
Ao Zhen was different from Gao Zhengyang. She liked order and liked to do things according to the rules. Ao Zhen hated people like Gao Zhengyang who did not follow the rules the most.
In the beginning, Ao Zhen admired Gao Zhengyang's arrogance. However, as she grew older and experienced more things, she no longer had a good impression of this kind of character.
Most importantly, Gao Zhengyang could do it, but he had the ability to clean up the mess and solve the problem. Instead of creating a mess for others to clean up.
Yan Jun raised his head and exchanged glances with Ao Zhen. Ao Zhen, who was wearing a black military uniform, had exquisite short hair, long eyebrows like swords, and golden eyes. Although there was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, he was very domineering as if he was in control of everything.
Yan Jun's expression did not change. When he faced Ao Zhen, he could feel the pressure. He heard that Ao Zhen was Gao Zhengyang's woman and the princess of the Dragon Clan.
He did not expect Ao Zhen's cultivation to be above his. The might of a Type 13 powerhouse could not be faked.
No wonder Gao Zhengyang was at ease to let his woman take over. It turned out that he was really capable.
Yan Jun had always wanted to take the route of being a wife and cozy up to her. Now, it seemed that this madam was capable enough.
He thought for a moment and said, "Zheng Wangjun's power is too great. He has millions of mercenaries under his command. It was actually his private army. Although we can find some things, we will alert the enemy if we investigate further. "
Yan Jun stated, "As long as you give me full authority to investigate, I will definitely be able to find evidence of his crimes."
Ao Zhen also started to ponder. This was a good thing for her. She had just taken over the position of the North Army Commander, Zheng Wangjun. She was impressive enough and could intimidate everyone. She could consolidate her power.
The question was, was there a need to be in such a hurry?
Smuggling had never stopped since ancient times. Ever since the human world and the Heavenly Realms merged, there were many foreign races around the human race. The human race could not avoid doing business with the foreign races in private.
As far as Ao Zhen knew, it was tough for the military at the border. Almost all the military commanders would be involved in smuggling. The Supreme Security Council was also well aware of this and usually turned a blind eye.
Moreover, some of the smuggling was needed by the government.
For a powerhouse like Zheng Wangjun, smuggling was actually not a big deal.
Yan Jun saw Ao Zhen's hesitation. He said, "It is common for border soldiers to smuggle. However, as the commander of the army, it is very abnormal for him to smuggle millions of mercenaries. What Zheng Wangjun did was also beyond the scope of normal smuggling.
All these years, he has been accumulating money crazily. For this, he colluded with the foreign races and killed many innocent lives. Including some soldiers who were not in cahoots with him … "
Yan Jun really disliked Zheng Wangjun, so he had been paying attention to Zheng Wangjun silently. Now that there was a chance to take down Zheng Wangjun, Yan Jun would not hold back.
Yan Jun listed a bunch of crimes against Zheng Wangjun. Although there was no evidence, Ao Zhen believed him a little more.
For Yan Jun to have such a huge grudge, it could be imagined that Yan Jun definitely had a deep grudge with Zheng Wangjun. Yan Jun did not hide it at all, so this kind of surrender seemed even more sincere.
"In order to prevent any accidents, transfer Zheng Wang's army back to the Radiant Capital."
Ao Zhen said, "The day after tomorrow, it will be a committee meeting. I will require that all committee members attend the meeting in person. After the meeting, I will talk to Zheng Wangjun. "
Ao Zhen had not decided how to treat Zheng Wangjun. She felt that it was better to talk to Zheng Wangjun, at least to see his attitude and listen to what he had to say.
Yan Jun was quite satisfied with this result. If Ao Zhen promised to deal with Zheng Wangjun so easily, he would doubt Ao Zhen's intelligence.
For such a big matter, he naturally had to understand the cause and effect and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
"Sir, Zheng Wangjun colluded with the outsiders and conspired against us. Please handle this with caution. To prevent him from going all out and retaliating … "
When Yan Jun was about to leave, he reminded Ao Zhen and conveniently gave Zheng Wangjun some warning.
Ao Zhen nodded her head. She was just listening and would not take it seriously.
Ao Zhen stood up to send Yan Jun out. Gao Zhengyang pushed the door open and came in.
Today, Gao Zhengyang wore a gray casual outfit and a pair of hemp sandals on his bare feet. He was playing with a small copper stove in his hand and wore a gray straw hat on his head.
He looked like he was on a vacation by the sea, very relaxed.
Yan Jun had not seen Gao Zhengyang before, but there should only be one man in the entire human race who could push open the door and come in without any scruples, Gao Zhengyang should be the only one.
"Little Goat, this is the permanent committee member Yan Jun, also a Level Thirteen powerhouse."
Ao Zhen was very polite and formally introduced him to Gao Zhengyang. "Yan Jun is only a thousand years old this year, very young and promising."
Yan Jun waited for Ao Zhen to finish the introduction and hurriedly bowed. "Hello, Chairman."
Gao Zhengyang smiled and reached out to shake Yan Jun's hand. He said, "Since we met, let's have a chat."
Yan Jun was surprised and happy. He came to flatter Ao Zhen because he wanted to curry favor with Gao Zhengyang. To be able to have a private chat with Gao Zhengyang, this was a relationship.
However, Gao Zhengyang was not a person to deal with. Whether it was public records or private records of various secrets. Gao Zhengyang was known for being cold and heartless.
This master had always done things in a simple and crude manner. Either listen to him or be killed by him. There was no third outcome.
Thousands of years ago, the Vice Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Seven Major Dynasties, including many famous powerhouses. Well, other than his best friends like Bai Xinyuan and Yue Qingxue, the others were killed by Gao Zhengyang.
Facing such a peerless boss, although Yan Jun was a Level Thirteen powerhouse, he was still a little nervous. It could not be helped. The number of Level Thirteen powerhouses that died in the hands of Gao Zhengyang was too many to count.
Although he was confident, he was very clear that there was a huge gap between him and Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang did not put on airs, nor did he have the dignified air of a powerhouse that could not be offended.
Without Gao Zhengyang's identity and reputation, the current Gao Zhengyang was like an ordinary young man in his twenties, sunny, confident, cheerful, and generous.
After exchanging a few words, Yan Jun even had an illusion that this boss was very approachable.
However, sitting next to the dignified Ao Zhen, Gao Zhengyang's easygoing nature was not suppressed. The key was that Gao Zhengyang did not expose his aura.
If Ao Zhen was the sun, then Gao Zhengyang was a firefly under the sun. Yet, it did not make people feel that his light was weak.
This complicated and contradictory feeling confused Yan Jun, but also made him respect him.
The senses of a Level Thirteen powerhouse were so sharp that they could directly sense the vitality particles and laws. Yet, they would still be confused by Gao Zhengyang's appearance.
This also proved that Gao Zhengyang's power was far above his, completely beyond his understanding.
Thinking of this, Yan Jun became more cautious. On the surface, he could talk and laugh. After all, he was good at chatting. As a Level Thirteen powerhouse, he still had the basic confidence.
If he was so nervous in front of Gao Zhengyang that he couldn't make sense of the situation, then he would be too useless. Not only would Gao Zhengyang look down on him, but Ao Zhen and Duzhang would also look down on him.
Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, was very casual. He came to look for Ao Zhen just for a stroll. He did not come to see Yan Jun.
Among the powerhouses of the human race, there was no one worthy of him deliberately meeting.
These few days, Gao Zhengyang was completely in a state of retirement, eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing. Other than that, there was nothing else.
At the peak of Level Fourteen, Gao Zhengyang even lost the motivation to move forward.
Level Fifteen power was a little too far for him. It was so far that he was not in the mood to think about it.
At this point in the era, the power of the rule that the human world could accommodate had not reached Level Fourteen. The distance to Level Fifteen was even further away.
According to Gao Zhengyang's estimation, there were still two to three thousand years before the rule of the era completely collapsed. Only when the rule of the era was completely broken would he have the chance to advance to Level Fifteen.
Of course, this advancement also required sufficient accumulation.
That was what Monarch Tianping and the others did. They did not expect to step into Level Fifteen in one step. Everything they did, strictly speaking, was to build a foundation for Level Fifteen.
Only when the foundation was deep enough would they be qualified to talk about Level Fifteen.
Ao Zhen and the others also found it hard to understand Gao Zhengyang's current state. Even Feng Ning could only guess a little. She was completely unclear about the specific situation.
Gao Zhengyang liked this current state very much. He just lay there and idle. Whoever came to show off would be eliminated. Of course, he could also take the initiative to eliminate others if he could not stay idle.
It was just that he had just experienced a war that lasted for a thousand years, and he was a little tired. At least, he did not have such a strong desire to fight.
"By the way, what were you talking about just now?" Gao Zhengyang asked casually. He was also concerned about Ao Zhen. Yan Jun's private visit was obviously to cozy up to her.
The Tai Chi Alliance was different from the Supreme Security Committee. Gao Zhengyang felt that Ao Zhen still needed some time to adapt.
"Councilor Yan told me about Zheng Wangjun."
Ao Zhen looked at the slightly confused Gao Zhengyang and explained, "Zheng Wangjun is a high-ranking official and one of the commanders of the North Army. A Level Thirteen powerhouse … "
"Oh, what about him?"
Gao Zhengyang really did not know Zheng Wangjun, and he did not care about this.
Yan Jun, who was beside him, was really confused. Gao Zhengyang had been back for a few days, and he did not even know who Zheng Wangjun was?
This was a little too much!
Although Zheng Wangjun was far away at the northern border, he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Supreme Security Committee and a high-ranking official. He held heavy weapons and was a Level Thirteen powerhouse.
Gao Zhengyang did not even pay attention to such a powerhouse. He was too arrogant.
Yan Jun suddenly thought of Ao Zhen's introduction just now. He thought it was a kind of courtesy, but now he understood that Gao Zhengyang really did not know who he was!
Yan Jun was a little disappointed. He thought that he was still someone important, but it turned out that Gao Zhengyang did not even look at him.
However, Gao Zhengyang's attitude showed that he was amazing. Thinking of this, Yan Jun's smile became gentler.
"Councilor Yan gave me a copy of Zheng Wangjun's smuggling account. I decided to take the opportunity of the Supreme Security Committee to summon Zheng Wangjun back for investigation."
Ao Zhen knew Gao Zhengyang's character. Although he was overbearing, he did not like to do trivial things. To put it simply, he could enjoy power, but he did not want to bear the responsibility of power.
Therefore, she did not go into too much detail. She just gave a simple introduction to Gao Zhengyang.
However, Yan Jun seized the opportunity and said, "Councilor, Zheng Wangjun is arrogant and despotic. He colluded with foreign tribes and plotted treason …"
"This person is really guilty of the most heinous crimes."
Gao Zhengyang slammed the table lightly and said excitedly, "Let's go there now and bring him to justice."
"Hmm?"
Ao Zhen looked confused. "You want to go to the North Legion to arrest Zheng Wangjun?"
Gao Zhengyang waved his hand nonchalantly. "What's wrong with the North Legion? Will they rebel with Zheng Wangjun?"
"I mean, the matter has not been investigated clearly."
Ao Zhen tried to persuade him. "Wouldn't it be awkward if you went there to interrogate him in a hurry and made a mistake?"
Yan Jun did not say anything. He did not expect Gao Zhengyang to be so impulsive. He wanted to interrogate Zheng Wangjun just by listening to his side of the story.
"It's fine. I'll just ask him face to face."
Gao Zhengyang was excited. He said to Yan Jun, "We can go there in the afternoon. We can try the specialties of the North."
"If we go there now, we have to inform North Star and Little Bai."
Ao Zhen saw that Gao Zhengyang had made up his mind and felt helpless. It felt like a child's play to go there and interrogate him directly.
"Why would I inform them?"
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "With me around, what trouble can happen?"
Gao Zhengyang held Ao Zhen's hand. "Let's go to the North Ice Mountains to see the snow."
Yan Jun wanted to give some suggestions, but seeing Gao Zhengyang like this, he could only shut up obediently.
The Light Courtyard had a teleportation portal that led to various places. Under normal circumstances, this kind of portal could only be used from one side of the Light Capital.
The chairman wanted to go to the North Ice Legion, which was the northernmost. The staff of the teleportation portal were also in a hurry to communicate with the North Ice Legion. A few minutes later, the teleportation portal was activated.
Yan Jun followed Gao Zhengyang and Ao Zhen. The three of them entered the teleportation portal that occupied thousands of square meters.
Beams of vitality light shot into the sky and quickly gathered together, turning into a huge light pillar that shot into the sky.
The teleportation portal connected the void and was very powerful when it was activated. Even outside the Light Capital, it could be seen clearly.
The people inside the Light Courtyard could see it even more clearly. Some of them even saw Gao Zhengyang and Ao Zhen enter the portal with their own eyes.
The direction of the teleportation portal was very clear, and the staff did not dare to hide it. In less than two minutes, the news that Gao Zhengyang had brought Ao Zhen and Yan Jun to the North Ice Legion spread.
This news had too many meanings. Many people could not help but think about it. Especially those committee members who came back from various places. They were very eager to know what had happened.
The return of Gao Zhengyang had caused the power structure of the Supreme Security Committee to change greatly. The committee members were somewhat at a loss. They were very nervous now. They did not know what Gao Zhengyang wanted to do.
At this time, they naturally had to gather as much information as possible. Then they would make a decision.
The sudden incident had stimulated everyone's curiosity. The committee members frantically gathered relevant information through all kinds of channels.
Lu Jiu was reporting to North Star. As the commander of the North Ice Legion, North Star was his immediate superior. After returning to the Light Capital, he had to see North Star at least once.
This was not only out of courtesy, but also an official need.
In North Star's room, no one dared to spread any news.
However, North Star's huge floor-to-ceiling windows faced the square where the teleportation portal was. Lu Jiu saw it very clearly. Yan Jun was like a little attendant, following behind a man and a woman.
Lu Jiu had never seen Gao Zhengyang in person, but he was very familiar with his image. From afar, he knew that the man must be Gao Zhengyang. The woman was Gao Zhengyang, who had just taken office.
When the teleportation portal's divine light dissipated, Lu Jiu was even more confused. What was Gao Zhengyang going to do with Yan Jun?
North Star suddenly asked, "You seem to be very concerned about Gao Zhengyang."
Lu Jiu knew that North Star had a cold and hard personality. They were very similar in this aspect. They were both people who were naturally serious in speech and manner. Although the two of them did not talk much, Lu Jiu felt very comfortable staying with North Star.
It was also because of this military-like rapport that Lu Jiu was very respectful towards North Star. After spending a long time together, he also realized that North Star was not selfish. He was very fair and strict in doing things.
However, North Star actually called Gao Zhengyang by his name without much respect. Lu Jiu was still surprised.
But to be able to hold the military power on behalf of Gao Zhengyang, and to be able to secure his position even after Ao Zhen returned, the relationship between North Star and Gao Zhengyang was definitely not ordinary.
Thinking about this, Lu Jiu said to North Star, "I'm worried about Yan Jun. I don't know where the chairman brought him to. Yan Jun is a little slippery, don't offend the chairman … "
"They went to the North Ice Corps," said North Star.
Lu Jiu's expression changed. "I wonder what the chairman and the rest are going to do?"
"Yan Jun reported Zheng Wangjun for smuggling, amassing wealth, and plotting against the law."
North Star was informed by Ao Zhen, so he knew the details. He did not hide it from Lu Jiu. "The chairman went there personally this time, it should be to punish the evildoers."
North Star did not like Gao Zhengyang's style of doing things. But since Ao Zhen could not do anything about it, he naturally had no right to say anything.
Lu Jiu's expression turned even uglier. "That's the North Ice Corps. Zheng Wangjun has been preparing there for 200 years. If he goes there like this, I'm afraid there will be danger?"
"Danger?"
North Star revealed a rare sarcastic smile. "In the entire universe, who is more dangerous than Gao Zhengyang?"
